Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Disable WP Robots

Many sites add meta tags via SEO plugins, theme enhancements, custom code, or whatever. So when WordPress adds another set of meta tags, there may be conflicting or redundant tags, which is not optimal for SEO. This simple plugin disables the WP robots meta tag completely, so they will not interfere with existing meta robots configurations.

Yes just deactivate the plugin. When the plugin is not active, WordPress will return to default behavior and include the meta robots tag in your pages.
